All of which is true, so the point is to be pragmatic - use patterns for what they are, useful static latches to avoid analysing (or ignoring) the real world to death at every turn - but never forget what they actually are. Follow DQ sure, but use your knowledge of the static patterns - don't treat the static patterns as absolute or fixed.
